It has simple and elegant interface and can be easily used even by beginners. It has Windows-styled GUI, context menu (right click menu) shortcuts and image editing capabilities.

Update (Auto-Update) Version 5.5 (8 October 2015):

Added the feature to restrict visibility of the filemanager for User groups, example shortcode:
[fm_access group='administrator']
[filemanager folder="*"]
[/fm_access]
The above code will allow only administrators to see the filemanager. This will help you add more than one filemanager in the front-end, each for one user group (user role).

*This Plugin is based on an Open-Source File-Manager elfinder integrated with WordPress and additional Features listed above.

The interface is user friendly. The plugin is fast and easy to setup. The Windows styled GUI with all those equivalent Windows File Explorer features are powerful. I have 2 feature requests:
1) Make the Delete button more prominent. The existing Delete icon is very similar to the other icons. Similarly, it is difficult to distinguish the upload and download buttons on small screen.
2) Instead of a global email address for notification specified on the Settings, provide shortcode option to specify the email address for notifications on files uploaded to a particular folder.
